By His Word, God created all things: “In the By His Word, God created all things: “In the beginningbeginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him God.

The Destruction of the “World that Was” – thousands of years ago

(???? B.C.) Verse two of Genesis chapter one tells us that the earth became Verse two of Genesis chapter one tells us that the earth became destroyed after the creation: “And the earth was without form, and destroyed after the creation: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the water.” The word “was” void; and darkness was upon the face of the water.” The word “was” in verse two should be translated as the word “in verse two should be translated as the word “becamebecame.” And the .” And the words “without form” would be better translated as “waste, or words “without form” would be better translated as “waste, or desolate.” Thus, God created the heavens and the earth desolate.” Thus, God created the heavens and the earth billions of billions of years agoyears ago and the earth later became wasted or desolate. This and the earth later became wasted or desolate. This desolation happened when God destroyed the world that then was desolation happened when God destroyed the world that then was because of the because of the Satan’s rebellionSatan’s rebellion in that first age (Ezekiel 28). This in that first age (Ezekiel 28). This great destruction is also known in part as the ice ages and is great destruction is also known in part as the ice ages and is recorded in the II Book of Peter 3:5-6; “For this they willingly are recorded in the II Book of Peter 3:5-6; “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perishedworld that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.” God .” God does not create anything void and without form (Isaiah 45:18), it does not create anything void and without form (Isaiah 45:18), it became that way. became that way.

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. (Genesis 3:6)

Numbers: From Kadesh to Moab

The Daughters of Zelophehad

The Daughters of Zelophehad were five sisters who lived during the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and who raised before Moses the case of a woman's right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family.

Zelophehad's daughters argued that were they not to inherit, then Zelophehad's name would be lost to his clan. (Num. 27:4.) Moses took their case to God. (Num. 27:5.) God told Moses that the plea of Zelophehad's daughters was just, and that they should be granted their father's hereditary holding. (Num. 27:6–7.)

The Daughters of Zelophehad… The Story Continues …

Later, the family heads of the clan of Manasseh's grandson Gilead appealed to Moses and the chieftains, arguing that if Zelophehad's daughters married men from another Israelite tribe, then their share would be lost to the tribe of Manasseh and be added to the portion of the tribe into which they married. (Num. 36:1–3.) So Moses, at God's bidding, instructed the Israelites that the plea of the tribal leaders was just and that Zelophehad's daughters could marry anyone they wished, but only among the men of the tribe of Manasseh. (Num. 36:5–6.)

Zelophehad's daughters did as God had commanded Moses, and they each married sons of their uncles. (Num. 36:10–11.) When the Israelites entered the land, Zelophehad's daughters appeared before Eleazer the priest, Joshua (who by then had assumed leadership from Moses), and the chieftains, reminding them that God had commanded Moses to grant them a portion among their kinsmen, and Zelophehad's daughters received a portion in the holdings of Manasseh on the west side of the Jordan River.

THE BASIC FACT

There is one God Whom we should love fully

THE BASIC TRUTH

By His power and grace God is faithful to bring us out of bondage to sin into an inheritance of life

THE BASIC REQUIREMENT

Obedience

THE BASIC PLEDGE

God pledges His faithfulness to His promises

THE BASIC DIFFERENCES

The New Testament shifts emphasis on worship from a place (Tabernacle) to a Person (Jesus Christ)

THE BASIC BLESSING

The Word of God was a blessing to Jesus and will be to us also as we study and apply it.

Originally, the Shema consisted only of one verse: Deut. 6:4. The recitation of the Shema in the liturgy, however, consists of three portions: Deut. 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41. The three portions relate to central issues of Jewish belief.

THE BASIC FACT

There is one God Whom we should love fully

Shema Yisrael -- "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" -- is perhaps the most famous of all Jewish sayings.The Shema is a declaration of faith, a pledge of allegiance to One God. It is said upon arising in the morning and upon going to sleep at night. It is said when praising God and when beseeching Him. It is the first prayer that a Jewish child is taught to say. It is the last words a Jew says prior to death.

• The Basic Fact

QUESTIONS?

Romans 8:1-2 (New International Version)

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

THE BASIC TRUTH

By His power and grace God is faithful to bring us out of bondage to sin into an inheritance of life

Deuteronomy 6:23 (New International Version)

23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land that he promised on oath to our forefathers.

John 14:21-23 (New International Version)21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who

loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."

22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

THE BASIC REQUIREMENT

ObedienceDeuteronomy 10:12-13 (New International Version)

12 And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

Deuteronomy 29:12-13 (New International Version)12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD

your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

THE BASIC PLEDGE

God pledges His faithfulness to His promisesDeuteronomy 4:27-31 (New International Version)

27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. 31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath.

THE BASIC DIFFERENCES

The New Testament shifts emphasis on worship from a place (Tabernacle) to a Person (Jesus Christ)

Deuteronomy 12:10-14 (New International Version)

10 But you will cross the Jordan and settle in the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and he will give you rest from all your enemies around you so that you will live in safety. 11 Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name—there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD. 12 And there rejoice before the LORD your God, you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levites from your towns, who have no allotment or inheritance of their own. 13 Be careful not to sacrifice your burnt offerings anywhere you please. 14 Offer them only at the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribes, and there observe everything I command you.

THE BASIC BLESSING


Matthew 4:4 (New International Version)

4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.


3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

THE BASIC BLESSING



7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”


16 Do not test the LORD your God as you did at Massah.


10Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.”


20 Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.
